Werewolf

Deeply flawed, but fundamentally decent, I approach life with an irreverent attitude toward certain modern social conventions, while harboring a profound nostalgia for bygone traditions of honor and decency. We each have our own code, and I succeed and fail by mine.

Ivy - Edge of the Ocean - The ultimate cool down song.

The featured video is a tad grainy, but the song is lovely, relaxing, and calming. (Not to mention that Dominique Durand's near perfect figure in a bikini is featured.) For those of you that don't know, the werewolf is a cardio-freak. When living in Nashville, he could frequently be found on extended runs or cycling through the stunning Percy Warner Park, sprinting laps around the Parthenon in Centennial Park, or running on the Vanderbilt track. Exile in New York includes much more time on the treadmill than he prefers. However, he has found a degree of joy in regularly mixing play-lists on his iPod to correspond with his various jaunts on the treadmill. I'll speak to some of the high-voltage music selections in a future post, as I am convinced that the energy from the right song, at the right time, can help us push ourselves a little harder during a workout. However, "Edge of the Ocean" has morphed into one of the default cooling down songs that spans several lists.

Do y'all have any songs that you find particularly relaxing after a hard workout?
